(can't remember the values, it has been 15 years ago since I was a tech).

Make sure you have a new Reciever/Dryer installed. It is attached to the condensor (round cylinder where you probably had your leak). I would also have new oil added. I would have added 2 oz. for the new condensor, but with a new compressor, it has new oil in it since it will be under a vaccum. I would talk with them and add 2-4 oz of new oil.
